How Often Is It Updated? The FAQ sheet is continuously updated whenever sufficient number of questions have been asked on the same topic. All responses relate to version 3.50 of Scorpion BarCode unless otherwise stated. (Back) MacOS System Software Compatibility? Scorpion BarCode is optimised for macOS 14 Sonoma with Apple Silicon or Intel processors, and operates natively on any macOS compatible system running OS X 10.15 Catalina or later.. (Back) MacOS 9 / Pre-10.9 System Software Compatibility? The latest version of Scorpion BarCode software will not work with MacOS X 10.15 Catalina or earlier. Older versions of Scorpion BarCode can still be used on older systems.

(Back) What Are The Limitations Of The Free Trial Version? Scorpion Research software downloads are complete packages with full functionality. They include the software itself, documentation, and support files. We believe that you should be able to test the software before purchasing, and be able to check that it meets your specific requirements. This means that Scorpion Research software packages are complete and have no limitations during the trial period. They simply stop working at the end of the trial period. If you decide to purchase the software, you will receive a serial number and unlock code that will permanently convert your trial software into a full version. Scorpion Research software downloads are also used for software upgrades. When you need to upgrade your software, simply download the updated package and continue to use your existing serial number with its unlock code received from Tech Support at the time of purchase. (Back) Mac Hardware Compatibility? The latest version of Scorpion BarCode software will operate on all Apple MacOS computers running OS X 10.15 Catalina or newer system software. Although this generally includes most Apple MacOS computers with an Apple Silicon or Intel processor built after 2010 and with the latest macOS system software installed, please send an eMail to Support@ScorpionResearch.com with your hardware specifications if you would prefer us to check compatibility.

We are required to charge VAT (Value Added Tax) on all sales using criteria published by H M Revenue & Customs although exemption applies in certain circumstances. Broadly speaking, sales to destinations outside the EU do not attract VAT. Sales within the EU attract VAT unless a valid EU VAT number is provided under prevailing EC Sales arrangements. (Back) Can You Send The Software And Registration Information By Post? We do not normally send any part of your Order by post because the whole process is conducted electronically. The software can be downloaded from our website whilst your Serial Number and Unlock Code is sent via eMail. If you require a physical copy of either Scorpion BarCode or your Registration Information, please send an eMail to Support@ScorpionResearch.com for guidance relating to such requests. (Back) The Software Says My License Has Expired? If you have purchased a License from us directly, and your software displays a window which says that your License has expired, please be assured that your License is unlikely to have expired. The software has simply reverted back to Demo mode because it thinks it is no longer running on the computer on which is was unlocked. This is possible, for example, if you have recently made a major hardware or system software upgrade to your computer. Just enter your original Serial Number and Unlock Code to unlock the software as before. If you are unable to locate your Serial Number or Unlock Code, please send an eMail to Support@ScorpionResearch.com providing as much information as possible for us to locate you in our Support database.

Purchasing a license implies that the Demo provided sufficient information about the software in order to make an informed decision about purchasing the software. If you discover an issue which has substantially diminished your enjoyment of our software, please send an eMail to Support@ScorpionResearch.com describing the issue so that we can assist you in resolving any problem that you may have experienced.
